1 What can wash away my sin?
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
what can make me whole again?
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Refrain:
O precious is the flow
that makes me white as snow;
no other fount I know,
nothing but the blood of Jesus.

2 For my cleansing this I see—
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
for my pardon this my plea—
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

3 Nothing can for sin atone—
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
naught of good that I have done—
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 This is all my hope and peace—
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
this is all my righteousness—
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]

5 Now by this I'll overcome—
nothing but the blood of Jesus;
now by this I'll reach my home—
nothing but the blood of Jesus. [Refrain]
